Services
Most of my work is packaging and branding, with everything around it that a business needs. Every job is prepared for production, not just for the screen. Not sure which one you need? Send a message and I will point you the right way.
Packaging
Packaging is where most of my work is. I design for FMCG shelves and prepare the artwork to professional prepress standards: dielines, Pantone and CMYK colour, barcode validation and print-ready files. Where it helps, I explain the thinking behind the design, such as why one colour runs through a whole range so it blocks together on the shelf.
Typical jobs: Pouches, boxes, cartons, bottles and jars, labels and sleeves, whole ranges with many flavours or sizes, and artwork adaptations.
Branding and stationery
A logo, a colour and type system, and the everyday items that carry them. The aim is a brand that is simple to use consistently, by you and by everyone who works with you.
Typical jobs: Logos, brand guidelines, business cards, letterheads, email signatures and corporate identity systems.
Brochures and publications
Clear, well-organised layouts for print and screen, prepared so the printer gets exactly what you approved.
Typical jobs: Brochures, catalogues, reports, magazines, flyers, posters, adverts, social media ads, and book and e-book covers.
Websites
Clear, fast WordPress websites that look like your brand and are easy to keep up to date. I also look after many existing client websites, so I know what makes one painless to live with. Sites I have built include Horizon Karate Centre, SA JKA, SAJKA Events, Silver Bee, The Eyemakers, Network NIP and Mexican Connection.
Typical jobs: Brochure sites, landing pages, new designs for existing sites, and ongoing updates and care.
Vehicle branding
Branding that works on a moving object: designed to the real vehicle outline and prepared for the signwriter.
Typical jobs: Cars, vans, bakkies and trucks.
Apparel
Uniforms, team wear and merchandise designed to look good when worn, and prepared for printing or embroidery.
Typical jobs: T-shirts, golf shirts, workwear, caps and event clothing.
Wayfinding and signage
Signs that help people find their way and make a place look cared for, designed for the actual space and prepared for the maker.
Typical jobs: Wayfinding systems, building and shop signs, banners and display stands.
3D visualisation
Realistic 3D pictures of products and packaging, so you and your customers can see a pack on a shelf or a table before anything is printed. Often a 3D picture can replace photography, with more control over the result. Useful for approvals, presentations and online shops.
Typical jobs: Pack shots, range line-ups, mock-ups and in-store displays.
